NCS Past Journals

"When I was given the opportunity to compose the NCS Journal, I jumped at the idea!  A fresh look at cockatiels, never published before articles, and beautiful pictures....  I never realized the work that needed to go into such a publication!  With cutting edge graphical and layout programs, the NCS Journal was destined to become a hit!  I cannot take full credit for the beautiful work you see below.  Without the tireless efforts of my assistant editors, writers, and sympathetic husband, we could never have such a great magazine.  Balance is the key.  Expert opinions are fine, but NCS reaches out to YOUR opinions.  Who else knows better about keeping cockatiels then those members who do it every day!  I hope you enjoy your bi-monthly Journals listed below. Journals are delivered in the months listed (they have been running right on time!) so if you don't get one, please email me at ncsjournal@cockatiels.org"

Sincerely,
Leslie Huegerich
